Shockwave helps you recover faster.
Shockwave Therapy, or Extracorporeal Pulse Activation is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method cleared by the FDA. This proprietary technology is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerates the healing process.
The beneficial effects of Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology are often expereinced after only 3 treatments. Some patients report immediate pain relief after treatment. Although, it can take up to 4 weeks for pain relief to begin. The procedure eliminates pain and restores mobility, thus improving your quality of life. Over 80% of patients treated reported to be pain-free and / or have significant pain reduction.

Shockwave Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method cleared by the FDA. This proprietary technology is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the
metabolism, enhance blood circulation and accelerate the healing process. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals.
This non-invasive office/clinic based procedure represents a breakthrough treatment option for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions.
What if I have a special health condition?
The safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave procedure has not been determined on people with the following health conditions. Your doctor will provide you with information about how these and other conditions might affect the determination to perform the Shockwave procedure:
-
Malignancies
-
DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
-
Pregnancy
Are the possible side effects/complications?
The non-invasive EPAT ® /ESWT treatment has virtually no risks or side effects. In some cases, patients may experience some minor discomfort which may continue for a few days. It is normal to have some residual pain after intense exercise or a full day of work.
How Much Does Shockwave Therapy Cost?
For most patients, the Elective Payment out-of-pocket
costs are much less than you would expect. Your physician can provide a personalized pricing program.
Some patients can use their employer’s “Flexible Payment Medical Savings Account” to cover these out-of-pocket expenses with pre-tax dollars.
What is the duration of the treatment and how many treatments will I need?
Treatment sessions take approximately 10-20 minutes depending on the disorder to be treated. Generally, 3-5 treatment sessions are necessary at weekly intervals. More chronic conditions may require more sessions.
How is Treatment Performed?
Coupling gel is applied to the specified treatment area to enhance effectiveness. After these preparations, radial pressure waves and focused shock waves are released via the applicator which is moved over the area in a circular motion.
